In response to the espionage allegation against the Pak High Commission staffer, Tarek Fatah, Author & Columnist, said, "This is a message to India that there is nothing to be gained in having diplomatic relations with Pakistan."

After terror attacks and numerous instances of ceasefire violation, Pakistan has now been caught red-handed after it attempted to spy on India seeking sensitive documents pertaining to national security.

The incident came to light after an employee of the Pakistan High Commission, Mehmood Akhtar, was detained and questioned by the Delhi Crime Branch in a case of espionage. The staffer was found in possession of defence documents.

MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup, at a press briefing, said that Mehmood is an employee at the Pak High Commission and worked for the ISI.
